Intravascular lymphoma, also known as malignant angioendotheliomatosis or angiotropic lymphoma, is a rare non-Hodgkin lymphoma that is usually fatal. It often presents with cutaneous and/or nervous system involvement, but the disease can involve any organ system. Clinical symptoms result from the occlusion of small vessels by tumor cells and fibrin. We present a case of cutaneous intravascular lymphoma successfully treated with rituximab, a recombinant antibody to CD20 antigen found on B lymphocytes.
